Come in...come in...graciousness abounds!
Gorgeous Entry!
Picturesque entry bench has hidden secret with storage!
There are three of these amazing oversized pocket doors! They're huge! What a beautiful throwback to yesteryear with the convenience of today!
We opened up all the choppy little space so that you could see from one end of the first floor to the other! Our signature hutch and hearthroom beckon you to come in and relax!
Look at this adorable hatbox toilet! Not pictured is an even more adorable pedestal sink!
Overly generous Formal Living Room has beautiful refinished hardwood flooring and a decorative fireplace! You can almost see the Christmas Tree in the corner! Custom light fixture gives great light! This room has two pocket doors!
Ah...this is THE place for family gatherings, entertaining at Derby or for a romantic diner...just 2! Gorgeous 36' chandelier was custom ordered for this room! We love the way the bay window cradles the decorative fireplace!
Refinished Stairwell & Newel Posts
This is nothing short of spectacular! Custom Medallion Cabinetry (maple) in Appaloosa finish with a Carriage Black Island! Striking Sienna Bordeaux Granite countertops and full-height backsplash! All new GE CAFE Line Appliances remain with the house! This kitchen will bring out anyone's inner Julia Child!
This photo has the lights on!
You've got light everywhere! Cans, glorious over island lanterns and under-cabinet lighting!
This stunning kitchen is bathed in light!
Could be a bar, could be a planning area, could be anything you'd like...pretty seeded glass windows show off your glassware and lower cabinet stores your entertaining items (or board games...or toys...or knitting...or anything else!)
This is where everyone will congregate! We love this hearthroom - or it could be a breakfast nook! Whatever it is, you'll want to be there!
Refinished Rear Staircase is intact!
Couldn't resist the 'movie' shot here! Look at this lovely staircase!
We love big bold fixtures that make a statement! Rear stairwell Hall fixture is glorious and gives lots of light!
Now this is going to be the most popular room in the house! Wonderful 4-Season Sunroom with tempered glass windows and matched hardwood floors will call you every day of the year! Sit down with a sweet tea & a good book!
Sunroom-View 2
New 16x16 Deck will be THE place to be this spring & summer! Love the iron 'pot belly' pickets!
Again, we love our big bold statement lights! This one is bigger and bolder than most and SPECTACULAR...
What an impressive Master Bedroom...bay window cradles the decorative fireplace! Not pictured is a HUGE walk-in closet! There is a $1000 allowance given at closing for the Buyer to customize the walk-in closet to their needs/wants.
Master Bedroom/View 2
Pictures don't do this Master Bath justice...you have to see it to believe just how gorgeous it really is...
Marble basketweave flooring graces the Master Bathroom and the walls of the shower...this is more than eye-catching...it's remarkable!
Dramatic shower (big enough for two) with regular shower head and handheld attachment and toilet area with both Valentina marble and fabulous glass shelving to showcase your art!
This is the coolest tub on the planet...custom ordered to fit in this niche! 69' Rahway Freestanding Acrylic corner 'Air Bath' tub...breathtaking!
Anther view of the tub...
Last one...I promise!
Another view...
BR #2 is quite large and faces the front of the house! Note the generous closet with double doors with cool display space on top!
And another view...
Delightful front facing BR has a charming box ceiling fan!
A breath of Spring! Delightful Hall Bath is all decked out and ready for the warm weather! You'll love it's sunny disposition, handsome furniture-style vanity, 'distressed' mirror and (see next picture) magnificent linen press!
...original to the house, this piece was in the kitchen...we took the opportunity to repurpose it and give it a higher calling! Refurbished linen press will hold all sorts of sheets, towels, toiletries and pretty bath items! Such fun!
525 squarer feet of dynamic living space added on the 3rd floor including a huge Bedroom & Bathroom...what great light! Complete egress (approved by IPL)! This is GREAT SPACE!!
Straight on view of 3rd Floor Retreat!
Ooodles of light in this beautiful bathroom! Lots of interesting angles that you'll love!
Gracious vanity has dark Santa Cecila granite top plus lots of storage! Mirror is on it's way and will be hung as soon as it gets here!
Wouldn't you LOVE to take a shower in here! It's like a spa! Custom glass door and sleek white subway tile...ah!!!!!
Now this is using the angles to their best advantage! How cool is this?
Is this cool or what? Can't wait for you to see it in person!
2.5 Car Garage enters off the alley and is rare in this location! Over the garage is a 1BR/1BA Carriage House apartment that measures 573.8 square feet. This would make a perfect rental, studio, Nanny's Quarters or Guest Quarters.
A full-size SUV does fit in the garage with plenty of space for a 2nd car/vehicle.
New insulated Cunningham Overhead Door adds charm & character to the Garage/Carriage House exterior! Alley access is a plus!
Now this is a yard for kids, pets and entertaining! It's even big enough for a pool!
1237.76 square feet of unfinished completely waterproofed lower level with an outside entrance that walks up to the rear yard. Waterproofing by AquaLock with a 'life of the structure' transferable warranty...what a super space for kids to play, a workshop, craft room or storage...use your imagination!
